8.3.3. Broker Default Flow Thresholds

The default flow Control Thresholds can be set for the broker using the following two broker options:
  • --default-flow-stop-threshold = flow control activated at this percentage of capacity (size or count)
  • --default-flow-resume-threshold = flow control de-activated at this percentage of capacity (size or count)
For example, the following command starts the broker with flow control set to activate by default at 90% of queue capacity, and deactivate when the queue drops back to 75% capacity:
qpidd --default-flow-stop-threshold=90 --default-flow-resume-threshold=75
